I found this recipe for a chewy raisin cookie in one of the many Amish cookbooks I own. I haven't seen it duplicated anywhere else. —Marcia Wagner, Berrien Springs, Michigan

I had high expectations with these cookies. i usually make raisin oatmeal cookies and i think i will stick with that. these were lacking.. they had a light cakey texture and were slim on flavor.
